pass
That's a "binary grade" (pass or fail), different from the numerical grades (1 to 5).

In higher education, people use "otlichno", "horosho", etc, while in secondary schools "5", "4", etc. So probably it's better to use the adjectives.

Note from asker:
| I see. Am I right in translating then otlichno and khorosho as fives and fours o would excellent and good be better? |

: I think it's also possible to say "credit". It might be an AmE thing: recognition by a college or university that a course of studies has been successfully completed| Oh, of course! Thanks! ;)

Thank you! I am not sure about "credit", which is a slightly different thing, I think.// Yes, but "credits" are measured in points/hours, but "зачёт" is not.

: yep. I was a student not long ago, although we had a different system altogether (liberal arts system). By the way, I am pretty sure you don't wanna use "credit" - credits are points awarded for taking a class (hour points, not grade points).

Pass/Passed
One of the grading systems used by Russian educational institutions is ‘Passed/Failed’, where no examination is required.

Отлично and хорошо should be translated as excellent and good. There are no fives or fours in Russian universities/institutes.

I translate it like this. And "3" like "Fair".

: I like credit here better than pass, though pass is OK. Don't see why some people are picking on credit -- credit has nothing to do with "credits" in this context.
